I don't know, anecdotal evidence here, but the majority of cases I see pages taking a long time to load due to 3rd party js etc, it's waiting for actual data, rather than anything else.
The OP said:
"and I noticed the render time of my site (and a few others) jump up anywhere between 5x and 100x."
Which would indeed suggest that it did load, but at significantly reduced speeds.
- Encosia 16y agoThese highly-available, distributed CDNs hosting static content don't have the same failure characteristics as something like an advertising script or Twitter widget. Where the latter do often hang the page (frustratingly), the popular CDNs that host jQuery aren't prone to that under any but the rarest of circumstances. Maybe unrelated, but you'd be surprised how often the "Waiting for domain.com..." in your browser's status bar is misleading. Interactions between externally referenced scripts, images, and scripts that use document.write can produce "interesting" results in most browsers.
